and supervisor chiu, you also asked about the question of whether we should be prosecuting more cases by virtue of the fact that there is a low conviction rate in san francisco? and again, it depends on who you are prosecuting. if you are prosecuting -- if you are going to say every one of these people who san francisco juries found not guilty, 90% of the time in 2009, 32% of the time in 2010, 46% of the time in 2011 and 2012, 54, was completely wrong. they must have slept through the trial. then i guess you can make that conclusion. but the reality is that if you are getting these kinds of results, you should seriously question the outcomes. one of the biggest changes that we now have a new presiding judge in department 17, where all the cases go through and in the one month he has been there managed to settle 30-40% more misdemeanor cases than his predecessor. so we're expecting a reduction because of that. thank you. >> thank you very much. any other questions? >> let me just try to be really brief. i know as supervisors farrell and avalos mentioned this is a precursor to more budg
